Operating inductive loads on our PLC Outputs such as relays can shorten the life of the PLC if you do not use a freewheel diode to mitigate the arc caused by the collapsing field of the magnet in the relay.

When you open the PLC “switch”, there is an ARC as induction creates a reverse voltage. The ARC does not want to go towards the 0vdc so it heads for the PLC Output. Often it can be larger than the supplied voltage.

Put in a Freewheeling Diode and rather than an arc at the switch, the excess voltage travels around the relay circuit.

If you are using a PLC to operate the Relay or other inductive load, the excess voltages can damage the Output Transistor or relay in the PLC. In a PLC, a spike in voltage from the Inductive Load such as a relay, transformer, indicator lamp, etc. can damage the PLC Output.

But ZIEHL-ABEGG does not label the motor leads.

In fact this motor is discontinued but we have experience in this particular motor

The motor leads are colored – so you would have to guess what way they hookup

This is my best guess and it has worked on the motors I have labeled

It is a typical 6-lead motor but for the colors used
